Linkin Park "The Hunting Party" Tour 2014 • System Tech Vic Wagner about the Sound and JBL VTX

[@Livemusic1800]

As a musician. My respects to all the people that work in the music industry. Especially those engineering / sound techs. These guys are amazing.

[@linkincode]

I love learning as much about LP as possible

[@pushkarvishwakarma8458]

I want this system to be installed on my terrace so that every time I go there I don't get bored

[@misdirectiongrenade3197]

Is it bad that I want to set up my own line array but at home?

[@trampers1664]

I want this too

[@LightYagamiVSL]

You’d get no benefit at home. That’s not what line arrays are designed for

[@TempoDrift1480]

That is very normal.

[@rolandtiiroja]

there's no shame in having a PA in your home. but I suggest you to invest a good point source system. it will probably sound better in your home. my friend has a 4KW PA in his bandroom just for listening music. having 18 inch subs in your apartment is pretty funky. note that a good studio monitors will probably sound better than big PA in your home. and PA will suck a lot of electicity.

[@xicoamc]

Not at all, your neighbours would love it too!

[@Littopastor]

As impressed as I am about the whole set up, this guy talking is lecturing masters sound engineering students. Lol....Having said that, I could listen to him all day telling myself I understand everything, it makes me feel smarter. Cherio!!

[@Maxwaehrens]

A bachelor degree in electrical engineering is really all you need to understand most of what he is saying, but to really do the same job as him you will definitely need a master's degree in acoustics or similar and some experience with concerts.

[@poly_hexamethyl]

1:55 Interesting that flown subs are effective. I would have thought that at those frequencies, the reaction force from the produced sound would cause the array to shake in the air, lessening the output. I guess this shows that the audiophile crowd that mounts their living room speakers on spikes to anchor them to the floor (to avoid exactly this effect) is barking (woofing? :-) up the wrong tree...

[@billyb6001]

It does make it less powerful in the air but it's more even because you arent coupling with the resonant frequencies in the floor.

[@NotnaRed]

Spikes are for the sub to not walk around. Can't walk of your flown.

[@VeronicaGorositoMusic]

I think that it has much to do with their poor room acoustics than speaker placement. Never heard of barking effect, what is it?

[@LightYagamiVSL]

It doesn’t matter when you have 12 Double 18” 4000watt subs, per side, plus ground stacked subs. Completely different than a home setup

[@FPVogel]

I might be late, but the audiophile folk can mount their subs wherever and however they want. The lower you go, the longer the wavelength and the more omnidirectional your wave. Where is a low-frequency wave supposed to go in a 5x5 meter room?

[@royfordmutuma201]

royford from kenya...need to learn how to set up

[@arkie74]

what happened to piling massive speaker cabnets on both sides of the stage so it blows everyone away?

[@davidtriana]

Lawsuits!

[@yonut7]

How many boxes and line array's we need for a small indoor space ? Yes . :))

[@techmetal2292]

So interesting how different this stuff is compared to home audio solutions. In a home you would never want a subwoofer on a shelf or at any higher than the floor because your bass response isn't as good. Here you see subs hanging from the ceiling lol. And all that is cared about is how loud it can get or how big of a area it can cover vs at home you are concerned with getting the most accurate sound reproduction

[@jonniprasad]

Tech Metal accurate reproduction and intelligibility is what they care about most. It is just a different acoustic environment to a home environment that they need to use different methods to achieve their goal. There is a lot of planning, design and physics involved in what they do

[@Thetimrobertson]

The method of hanging subs is used for pattern control. The longer the array the better pattern control over low frequencies. Subs become more directional as a function of the length of the array. That is why they hang them, to give directional control over subs in to seats further away. The ground subs are used to take care of the floor level. In theory the ground floor will not actually hear the flown subs just like they are not hearing the top speakers in the array only those that are pointing at them. Bass response is not as good when flown true but when you have that many subs the lack of ground plane coupling can be overcome. This is not a system that lacks headroom believe me. Full range freq response to every seat is the goal and if you think a home system can outperform the sub performance of a system of this type I urge you to go to a well set up show such as this and compare. Large wavelengths (low frequencies) need large spaces.

[@VeronicaGorositoMusic]

I think he said about cardioid configuration for the subs, and that gives them directionality and a quieter stage kevel?

[@VeronicaGorositoMusic]

@@jonniprasad just knowing the T60 for a complex recint like that, so many surfaces, materials... Even with software, the amount of calculus for those shows is scary. I'm on my 2nd year of live sound and maybe I better keep on music playing than getting to much into engineering, because not many people can manage the planning of a system like this one.

[@Davidjon1946]

Multi purpose arenas are usually horrible for acoustics for live concerts . Especially these newer arenas they are all built the same ive been doing this a long time i know all the arenas past/ present. There were very few multi purpose venues that had good acoustics. (1) Buffalo Memorial Auditorium located in Buffalo New York built for the nhl hockey team was the best!!! It was a old arena built in the 1940s ?? They had these giant cylinder shaped sound baffles that hung from the arena rafters that would sway to absorb the reverberation. It was the only arena I ever worked that had this feature I don't think that arena is still standing? But as far as newer current arena I would say the rose garden located in Portland Oregon built for the nba Portland trailblazers it has pretty good acoustics that can be adjusted probably the best venue in North America for sound.

[@EthanSeller142]

I wonder how much all this cost?

[@SpeakerFan]

A few milion will get you there.

[@EthanSeller142]

[@djijspeakerguy4628]

I’ve heard those VTX S28 subs in real life. The sports arena in our city has them as the subwoofers for their “in-house” sound system. They seem to dig really deep, and have a good amount of power! I’ve heard some good JBL subs, and some really terrible ones. These are the best. The g28s on the ground are a good idea, because I’ve been dissatisfied with every system I’ve heard without subs in the center. They always seem to sound good directly in the center, but have a nasty dead spot a few degrees to the left and right. They always sound decent further off to the side. As for the VTX sound quality, I feel like they are only good for certain genres, but this genre would be a PERFECT fit for them.

The sound is incredible realism, precision, fidelity. Another important point: this system like all JBL equipment will age extremely well and will easily be resold in second hand, no problem, it's JBL. Best regard.

[@kadjmusic]

Believe it or not, most line arrays these days go down to 35hz on their own without subs… then subs added to extend to 25hz

Also, regarding your comment on the Wildwood Beach, the system tech works for the tour's audio vendor, not directly for the band like the FOH mixer. If it was a one off gig, it most likely would have been a local production company- probably Spellcaster, Bauder, Asbury Audio, etc, which provide their own system techs.

I believe my friend that you need to go see an ear specialist! This line array is the best in the audio industry in every way. That said, the management of such a system also depends on the Sound Engineer and again, the technical team whose Chief Sound Engineer was of a very high level. In any case the sound can not be like in your private living room, and it all depends on where you were in the room, the huge room...
